RECONNAISSANCE FOR URANIUM IN THE ANTOFAGASTA AREA, PROVINCE OF ANTOFAGASTA, CHILE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4811435
The Antofagasta area was examined for the possible occurrence of commercial deposits of uranium. Significant radioactivity was verified in the Sierra Gorda district about 140 km northeast of Antofagasta. This was noted in three sets of shears in an altered host rock of microgranite and granite. It was concluded that the Sierra Gorda district warrants at least some additional investigation due to the presence of moderately high radioactivity in strong vein structures cutting a granite which possesses abnormally high background radioactivity.
